This game went above and beyond everything I wanted or could have expected. It lasted much longer than I thought it would, was chock full of fun and crazy worlds, and had fantastic sounds. The characters are loveable and the gameplay smooth.

Vida Seasons 1, 2, & Premier of 3 Review - Before Gentefied, there was Vida. The OG Latinx LGBT gentrification in LA story involves two sisters who return home after finding their mother has passed away. The show is to date an incredibly well-written piece of raw television. What I mean by that is absolutely no punches were pulled in the development of characters and their actions. Vida deals with real-world situations that may viewers will relate to on a deep level. On more than one occasion, I've found myself pausing the show to internalize the emotions behind what I had just seen. The music is well-chosen and often praised by fans. So one of the biggest questions you may have is "Why haven't I heard about this incredible masterpiece?" There's two major reasons behind this. First off, it's on Starz. With Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, and even HBO available as streaming options, Starz doesn't fall as a top priority for many viewers. It's less likely you've heard about this series from a friend. Next, we have the target audience. Let me list that again, Vida is a Latinx LGBT Gentrification in LA story starring two sisters. Nudity in the series (Yes, there is nakey people) heavily leans towards the L and B over the G and is quite gratuitous at times. Vida has a very specific demographic it caters towards. If you don't fall into it's target audience, you are less likely to relate with or even enjoy this series. It's easy to surmise Starz was nervous entering new waters with greenlighting this love letter to the community, as each season is pretty short, but packed with incredible moments. The final season has just premiered (one episode a week). I highly recommend subscribing to Starz simply to watch Vida and bounce. (Although, I hear American Gods is pretty good too.) Three months at $5 a month (current offer) is essentially a film viewing and Vida is worth it. By the time three months are over, we will have watched the season finale.
